WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:28.359 Weird things happened in the weird weird weird Yo. Yo, hey hey hey, 2 00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:35.560 hey, hey hey hey they are pard What a wonderful day. What 3 00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:39.399 a wonderful day we have upon us. So it's a wonderful day, folks. 4 00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:43.719 Alex had the idea. A lot of good ideas stem from Alex's idea, 5 00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:45.880 and then we take them and we shape them to what we really want, 6 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:49.039 and then we take credit for them. Yeah. I wouldn't do all 7 00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:54.399 that, but I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Alex had a pretty kidding I 8 00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:58.119 give no, I give you all the credit. You. I worship you. 9 00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:00.520 Put the camera on me, put it on me. You got it 10 00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.959 all right. I'm bowing before Alex. It makes you feel better. Thank 11 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:10.719 you. You're the god of ideas. Kiss his ring, Give me your 12 00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:14.480 rum and coin. I'll kiss that. You got it on you. Wow, 13 00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:19.439 it's the it's on the nice stand, on the altar, if you 14 00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.480 will on the on the thing. So Alex had a good idea and it 15 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.159 was to do an episode about led Zeppelin. And I was like, that's 16 00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:27.799 that's cool, that's that's a really good angle. And as the days went 17 00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.079 by, I started thinking about it and I was like, Man, why 18 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.280 don't we expand that and just make it more so about the message, the 19 00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.159 message and the music. This is something that I'm not sure if we've ever 20 00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:46.159 talked about on the podcast, but there's a little known element of my dad's 21 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.079 story and how it is connected to music. So I'll just tell that story 22 00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:53.840 and then we can go from there. When I was in high school, 23 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.640 so particularly like senior year, so I would have been like seventeen, maybe 24 00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:06.120 twenty eleven, and Dad started becoming really obsessed with led Zeppelin and just playing 25 00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.120 it every day in the truck. He'd take me to school, picked me 26 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:12.240 up from school, and it was all led Zeppelin, led Zeppelin, led 27 00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:16.000 Zeppelin, Aha, just obsessed like that out of nowhere. My whole childhood. 28 00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:19.479 I never heard him utter the word led Zeppelin, and all of a 29 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:23.120 sudden, boom, it was all he ever wanted to listen to, like 30 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.800 suddenly, out of nowhere, sudden, and I you know, come to 31 00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.919 find out he liked him growing up, but when I was growing up, 32 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:34.039 it was all like Aerosmith, Van Halen, dr Cash, Like it was 33 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:36.599 never you know, led Zeppelin. It just completely in my life. It 34 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:38.319 was out of lead field and he just couldn't stop playing it. And I 35 00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:42.159 liked it, you know, I thought it was cool and and really enjoyed 36 00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:46.280 the music. And so about a year goes by of this every day led 37 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:52.199 Zeppelin and then he, you know, sees the Lady and he starts getting 38 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:57.360 these messages. Yeah, the Lady came when I was eighteen, a year 39 00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.120 later after my senior year of high school. I was a freshman. It's 40 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.680 crazy. He just like got a bug for led Zeppelin, like a year 41 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:07.719 before all that happened. Yeah, wild, And then the Lady or however 42 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:10.319 you would imagine they communicate to him. I mean, they kind of hit 43 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:15.080 on it in the History Channel episode, tells him that there's a message in 44 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:25.960 the music, particularly Kashmir the Battle of Evermore after the Gold Rush by Neil 45 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:31.479 Young. And then he noticed the song I Think It's Love Walked In by 46 00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:38.280 Van Man. So he started to become obsessive about particular songs and the message. 47 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:39.680 And we'll get to the lyrics in a bit on all of those songs, 48 00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:45.759 and even Stairway to Heaven has a shining Lady of Light. And he 49 00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:49.439 started to become obsessed with this concept. And then I guess a year or 50 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.800 two goes by, and then there's this UFO researcher by the name of Grant 51 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.280 Cameron. Back in the day. He came to our property, probably around 52 00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:00.039 twenty thirteen, and he starts investing, maybe twenty twelve actually his original visit, 53 00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:05.800 and he starts to investigate our property. And there's a story that I 54 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:09.599 don't know if we've ever talked about this on the podcast, but anyway, 55 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:14.560 so Grant Cameron's in town and at the time, in twenty twelve, UFOs 56 00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:20.680 was still a very niche subject of conversation, and he during this time period 57 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:25.319 was accredited as like the world's number one UFO researcher. He had some sort 58 00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.480 of award from some sort of thing. I don't know. They'd be throwing 59 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:31.079 hell a UFO conferences and patting each other on the backs and stuff, and 60 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.600 it's it's anyway, So he shows up and it was kind of like, 61 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:38.079 oh wow, he's gonna investigate us, like kind of a big deal at 62 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:43.879 the time, you know. And he sticks around for a little bit and 63 00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.759 then he leaves. He has to go to Florida or something like that. 64 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:49.399 He comes from Canada, and then on his way home, he's like, 65 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:51.519 hey, can I swing by again? And Dad's like sure, and he, 66 00:04:53.439 --> 00:05:00.639 you know, swings by and the second time he's at our property. 67 00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.079 This is the story where he's out in the backyard talking with Dad and Nelly's 68 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:10.319 neck slash. Yeah. So I had this black labrador named Nelly that actually 69 00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:15.120 I named after my great grandmother, Nelly bled So And anyway, she was 70 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:23.240 just the sweetest little dog and she had just a mysterious she just started shooting 71 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:25.839 blood, just squirting blood. Yeah. I think that it was like they 72 00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:29.240 were like talking in the backyard and she didn't she like run inside or and 73 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.879 she was projectile squirting out of I don't nowhere. No, she was just 74 00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:34.360 wagging her tail one second, the next second she's squirting blood. My dad 75 00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:38.519 tackles her. He thinks she's dying. Go get a rag, somebody help, 76 00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.639 you know, And they start struggling. What do we do? Do 77 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:43.560 we call you know, nine one one? Do we call the vet? 78 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.600 Like she's gonna die? And they're freaking out. It was a lot of 79 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:47.720 blood. It was a lot of blood. Yes, I have pictures of 80 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:51.360 it, Like she may have bled out. Yeah, at least that's what 81 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:56.519 they thought. Yes, And Dad just kind of praised, like, God 82 00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:58.199 help me, I don't know what to do, and he sticks her hand 83 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.240 on her neck and then the bleeding stops. His hand put his hand on 84 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.120 her neck, yeah, to like stop the bleeding, right, and he's 85 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:05.879 like, God help me. I don't know what to do. And then 86 00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:12.079 the bleeding stops and the slash disappears. He said he felt something come from 87 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.000 him into the dog. Next thing you know, she goes limp and then 88 00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:16.959 she's kind of wagging her tail and she's fine. She's totally fine. The 89 00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:23.439 bleeding is gone. Now Grant Cameron was like, what's this happen? What? 90 00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:28.399 How do you explain that? Right? Right? So he gets this 91 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:30.399 bug from my dad. Oh my god, this is real. I saw 92 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:34.240 something crazy happen. And he starts coming around more often, calling my dad 93 00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:36.959 all the time, asking like every question you can imagine under the sun. 94 00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:42.480 And one thing my dad keeps telling Grant is there's a message in the music. 95 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:47.639 Look at After the Gold Rush by Neil Young at Kashmir, look at 96 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:51.519 the Battle of Evermore and Love Walks In by Van Halen. So next thing 97 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:57.720 you know, Grant's like, okay, interesting. Then he starts digging and 98 00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:03.240 he starts going into interviews from famous musicians from as far back as like the 99 00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:09.920 seventies and finding out that a lot of them at some point in time said 100 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:15.879 in an interview that they were inspired by UFO encounters. Right, so they're 101 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:21.519 saying I can't. Grant Cameron found that Yes, after Dad saying there's a 102 00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:26.879 message in the music. The phenomenon is in inspiring the music, Grant goes 103 00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:30.560 and he determines a connection. Whoa next thing, you know? He goes 104 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:34.279 on to write an entire book where I think it's called let me find the 105 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:40.439 name of it. I don't. Isn't that funny that you are following the 106 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:46.800 trend, which is the connection between the experience direct experience with the phenomenon and 107 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:51.759 music. The book was called Tuned in the Paranormal World of Music, and 108 00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:59.639 he credits my dad as giving him the inspiration for this entire area of research. 109 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.560 And he finds out that a lot like I think Bruce Springsteen was one 110 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.079 of the names, and a lot of other artists saying, oh yeah, 111 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:09.920 I saw UFO and it inspired me for these lyrics or whatever. And then 112 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.879 it gets deeper. So down the road, we start hanging out with you 113 00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:16.839 know, especially around twenty thirteen and beyond, we start getting more involved with 114 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.800 people in the CIA, and then we get introduced to characters like John Alexander, 115 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.360 Jim Simmy Van and you know, their regular characters in our story. 116 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.360 And at some point, I honestly, for the life of me, I 117 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.279 can't remember which of the two or if it was one of their mutual friends 118 00:08:31.320 --> 00:08:37.159 that we knew said it, but one of them indicated to us that a 119 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:45.679 CIA scientist named Kick Green actually gave the lyrics to led Zeppelin. Huh to 120 00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:52.120 like see prophecy into the world. Okay, what so, yeah, we're 121 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:56.960 going to read the lyrics, but before we do that, I wanted to 122 00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:00.360 show people that there is a genuine led Zeppelin connection with my dad. This 123 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:07.519 is an excerpt from his book, chapter nineteen. This is completely out of 124 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:09.519 context, but I'm just gonna read the excerpt so you know, I'm not 125 00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:11.600 just blowing smoke and there's a led Zeppelin connection. Dad says. I didn't 126 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:15.960 sing out loud for fear of ruining their investigation, and also because there is 127 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:20.399 no imitating the vocal acrobatics and falsettos of Robert Plant and Sandy Denny on the 128 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.799 Battle of Evermore. I chose that song because led Zeppelin was huge when I 129 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:26.360 was a kid, but mainly because it was longer than four minutes and I 130 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:31.159 knew all the words already. So I'm gonna jump around a little bit in 131 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:33.759 the timeline and when I'm done with the story, then we'll go to the 132 00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:37.840 lyrics and we'll move on. So obviously, and for very obvious reasons, 133 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.320 led Zeppelin is like a big deal in our house and with my dad and 134 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:48.159 his story, and so I kid you not. So it's twenty twenty four 135 00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:56.480 now, February. Last April in twenty twenty three, was you know, 136 00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:01.320 Dad announced the motion picture back around like I don't know, m October, 137 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:05.480 December something like that. But he'd been daily working on it since April of 138 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.440 twenty twenty three. And I kid you not. The night that I got 139 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:15.320 the text, we have a deal. I was at a Robert Plant concert 140 00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:20.679 right that's right here in Wilmington. Robert Plant is still alive. He's the 141 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.840 original vocalist for ledg Zeppelin. He's literally still touring. He tours with Allison 142 00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.759 Kraus. They make new folk music together. It's really pretty. And I 143 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.960 was seeing him live at a venue here in Wilmington, and for me it 144 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.000 was a big deal. Oh my god, I gotta see Robert Plant. 145 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.440 He's coming to town, you know. Yeah. Yeah. And I go 146 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.679 to the concert and I'm just thinking, like, wow, what a crazy 147 00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:45.039 moment like that, I get to see him live, and I'm getting text 148 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.120 from my dad about the deal. And then I look up in the sky 149 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:56.159 and over the venue, I saw three orbs. So that's so insane, 150 00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:00.360 and I was like, Okay, this is weird, Like that's a that's 151 00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:05.240 the phenomenon, like confirming that connection. You know, You're you're there seeing 152 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:11.679 Robert Plant after being like basically told by the phenomenon itself that there's a connection, 153 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:13.519 Like obviously, like the lady didn't come down and was like, yo, 154 00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:18.799 you need to listen to led Zeppelin right right, But like he always 155 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.480 knew that there was a connection there. Yeah, he always knew that there 156 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.000 was a message in that music. It was obvious that it was inspired by 157 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.960 the phenomenon. And then if you had any shred of a doubt in your 158 00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:35.120 mind, you're there seeing Robert Plant, getting text messages just from your dad 159 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:39.279 about that and seeing orbs at the same time, exactly, like it just 160 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.000 wiped out any shadow of any doubt exactly. So let's look at the lyrics 161 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:48.279 for Kashmir. You ready, I got actually either way? Oh go ahead, 162 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.919 Kashmir. If there's anybody listening or watching that is maybe not super familiar 163 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.080 with led Zeppelin, Kashmir gotta be one of their best songs of all time. 164 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:03.000 Oh yeah, ca, and you've probably heard it too. Like there's 165 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:07.240 a few songs that even if you're not familiar with the band, you've probably 166 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:09.240 heard these songs. That's gotta be one of them. Oh yeah, such 167 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:15.799 a good song. So these are the lyrics for Kashmir. Oh let the 168 00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:20.679 sun beat down upon my face and stars fill my dream. I'm a traveler 169 00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.799 of both time and space to be where I have been, to sit with 170 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:30.399 elders of the gentle race. This world has seldom seen. Okay. They 171 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.440 talk of days for which they sit and wait all will be revealed. Talking 172 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:37.519 song from tongues of lilting grace. Sounds caress my ear, and not a 173 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:43.360 word I heard could I relate? The story was quite clear, and it 174 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:45.559 says, oh baby, I've been blind. Yeah, Mama, there ain't 175 00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:48.759 no denying. It's kind of like the verse or whatever. Ain't no denying. 176 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:52.000 I've been flying. And then it says, all I see turns to 177 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.320 brown as the sun burns the ground, and my eyes fill with sand as 178 00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.919 I scan this wasted land, try to find the way that I feel. 179 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.679 O pilot of the storm, who leaves no trace, like sorts inside a 180 00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:07.120 dream, leave the path that lead me to that place, yellow desert stream, 181 00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.720 my sh angry law beneath the summer moon. I will return again as 182 00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:15.000 the dust that floats high in June. We're moving through Kashmir, Oh, 183 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:18.279 father of the four winds, fill my sails, cross the sea of years 184 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:22.000 with no provision but an open face along the streets of fear. Oh when 185 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:26.440 I want, I'm on my way. Yeah, and my feet wear my 186 00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:30.000 fickle way to stay. And then it's just like oh yeah, yeah, 187 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.480 I'm down. Oh but it's it's like prophecy. It's like, first of 188 00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:37.919 all, it's talking about elder beings of a different race. This speak a 189 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:41.159 language that only a few can understand, which is like, okay, maybe 190 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:45.080 that's weird. If that doesn't do it enough for you, let's go look 191 00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:46.120 at Battle of evermore. Oh no, no, no, wait, hold 192 00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:50.279 a hold, hold the hold up. There were multiple things there, like 193 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:54.559 the let me see the lyrics real quick. He said something about like my 194 00:13:54.879 --> 00:14:01.320 feet are my fickle way to stay. Let me see, let's see where 195 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.480 was that? Okay, another thing shangri lob beneath the summer moon that hit 196 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:11.519 me across the sea of years with no provision but an open face along the 197 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:18.080 straits of fear. Here it is. And my feet where my fickle way 198 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:20.120 to stay. Oh, when I want, when I'm on my way, 199 00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:26.200 my feet wear my fickle way to stay. That that reads to me as 200 00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:31.759 like feet being the fickle way to stay is like being grounded, like witnessing 201 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:39.000 this this like this phenomenon, or witnessing this like infinite power, this infinite 202 00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:41.879 wisdom, these these people beyond the stars, or this gentle race. Yeah, 203 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:46.639 the elders, the elders, this gentle race of elders. Like that. 204 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:50.759 That sounds like this person whoever is like telling this story, is having 205 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:56.279 a profound experience with the phenomenon and feeling like the separation from the material world 206 00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:00.240 and the spiritual world. But I'm a traveler of both time. I'm in 207 00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.600 space to be where I have been, right, Yeah, and that's that's 208 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:09.799 also really wild, like time is a more ethereal, abstract concept, whereas 209 00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:16.480 space is more it's more material. Like time is immaterial, space is more 210 00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:20.360 material. You know. That's that's kind of the vibe that I'm getting from 211 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:22.240 that. To sit with the elders of the gentle race, the world has 212 00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:26.000 seldom seen obviously, that makes me think of the phenomenon. Absolutely they talk 213 00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:30.480 of days for which they sit and wait. All will be revealed. That 214 00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:33.799 makes me think of like Age of Aquarius. Yes, exactly, all will 215 00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:37.840 be revealed, a new knowledge. And that the part when he says all 216 00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:41.639 I see turns to brown as the sun burns the ground. If you recall, 217 00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:46.039 that's the part in the song where it sounds very clearly Egyptian I'm talking 218 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.240 about. Yes, Like I know that sounds funny, but if you go 219 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:50.679 and you listen to Kashmir by Led Zeppelin and you listen to the song, 220 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:52.840 there's a part that's like, Okay, I feel like I'm an ancient egypt 221 00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:56.879 Yeah. No, I mean they use like citars and there's they had like 222 00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:00.320 a whole symphony for that song. Right, there's viole lens, there's sitars, 223 00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:06.120 there's like all sorts of different instruments, so I want to stress though. 224 00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:10.159 The main song that was given to Dad by led Zeppelin was Battle of 225 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:15.440 Evermore and Then and real Quick before you go on the Kashmir was the song 226 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:18.759 that made me write down the idea to bring to the meeting to have this 227 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:22.960 episode. Really I figured it out listening to y'all talk about it. Wow, 228 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:27.399 wait till you hear this one, thisvermore uh huh. First lyrics, 229 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:32.320 The Queen of Light took her bow, Wow, and then she turned to 230 00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:36.200 go. The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom and walked the night alone. 231 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:38.799 Oh, dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light. 232 00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:41.840 The dark Lord rides and forced the night, and time will tell us all. 233 00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:45.159 Oh, throw down your plow and hoe rest, not to lock your 234 00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:49.240 homes side by side. We wait the might of the darkest of them all. 235 00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:53.360 I hear the horses thunder down in the valley below. I'm waiting for 236 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:57.440 the angels of Avalon, waiting for the Eastern Glow. WHOA. Now, 237 00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:00.159 if we know anything about the King Arthur Mine, if Avalon is like Heaven, 238 00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:03.880 right, which is this is a mystical tie to you know, you 239 00:17:03.880 --> 00:17:10.640 can say King Arthur Templar's kind of like Masonic imagery there talking about the Eastern 240 00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:15.400 glow. Well, in the Bible it talks about when Jesus returns, it's 241 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.079 from the east, or it's the sun of the morning, the sun it 242 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:21.519 rises in the east, and so shall God or Jesus or whatever return in 243 00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:25.200 the east. Is it literal? No, about it was something else real 244 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:30.359 quick, all right, Lord of the Rings two Towers, Gandolf was gone 245 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:33.960 for all that time, and he said three days time I will return. 246 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:37.839 Look to the east. Yeah, he looked to the east. They came 247 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:42.200 down into the valley, thundering with horses the road here him Like that was 248 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:47.720 like low key, like the I mean, Gandolf is the Jesus character of 249 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:52.519 Lord of the Rings. Like that's that's almost identical to the Battle of Helm's 250 00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:56.400 Deep. They're gonna there's a reference of Ring Raiths in the song too. 251 00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.880 They were obviously huge Lord of the Rings fans. Oh yeah, So they 252 00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:03.319 have multiple songs that are I'm waiting for the Angels of Avalon, waiting for 253 00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:07.720 the Eastern Glow, that apples of the valley hold the seeds of happiness. 254 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.480 The ground is rich from tender care, repay, Do not forget, no, 255 00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:12.920 no, oh, dance in the dark of night, sing to the 256 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:17.880 morning light that apples turn to brown and black. The tyrants face is red. 257 00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:21.440 Oh. The war is calm and cry, pick up your swords and 258 00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:25.160 fly. The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know, 259 00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:27.519 which for me was like, Okay, my radar's tingling, Because when I 260 00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:30.400 was a little kid and we started seeing this phenomenon, Dad always told me, 261 00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:37.680 I say, yeah, bro, like there's angels and demons in the 262 00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:41.039 sky that we can't see fighting all the time. Right. Dad always said 263 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:42.640 that. He was like, it's like the scripture, Son, I don't 264 00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:47.279 remember the character Jacob or something. He's like, and God opened his eyes 265 00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:51.920 and he could see all the angels in heaven. It literally says the sky 266 00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:53.200 is filled with good and bad, that mortals will never know that. Just 267 00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:59.160 that imagery comes to my mind. This quote, I think is the most 268 00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:03.279 important quote, and it's something that Dad raised me on to never fear bad 269 00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:07.759 times. He said, the pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath. 270 00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:12.880 The drums will shake the castle wall, The ring raths right in black, 271 00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:17.720 right on but specifically, the pain of war cannot exceed the woe of 272 00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:22.599 aftermath. And the way I've always been made to understand that is like whatever 273 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:25.880 bad time, I mean, even if World War three were to theoretically happen, 274 00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:33.119 it's like things can only get so bad before there's intervention from the light. 275 00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:36.720 You know, It's like it's gonna get I mean potentially, I don't 276 00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:38.960 know the future, but like there's all this fear mongering in the world, 277 00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:41.559 and like, dude, today we lost AT and T service and there's a 278 00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:47.119 million conspiracy theories, oh chinas he and pianists. I mean, everybody's panicked 279 00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:51.680 about everything that ever happens because AT and T you went down for two hours. 280 00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:56.880 I'm telling you right, people are panicked about everything on from every walk 281 00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:00.279 of life. Everything is like this little panic trigger that makes people freak out. 282 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:02.559 And I'm not going to weigh in on that one. Oh my god, 283 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:07.240 I'm not gonna feed I'm not keeping myself. Yeah, don't feed the 284 00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:08.799 fear, That's what I'm saying. Who cares if they're if they're in p 285 00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:11.200 and US, great, I'm just gonna stay here and play my steam deck 286 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:15.759 off the Wi Fi. Like I'm gonna enjoy myself. Yeah, you get 287 00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:18.160 your A D n T conspiracy anywhere, you're not gonna get it at Bloody 288 00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:22.640 said not today, And you know I'm not. I'm not knocking people that 289 00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:26.160 that spread that theory. My point is the world is they're always no, 290 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:29.680 I totally get it. Yeah, that's why I'm siding with you here. 291 00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:33.039 Everybody's in fear of everything, and it's like there has to be a point 292 00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:37.640 when it's only gonna get Like, obviously the world is bad, but it 293 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:44.640 can truly from a cosmic perspective, only get to a point, yes, 294 00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:48.119 and then the balance is gonna shift. There's a balance, there's a universal 295 00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:51.400 balance, and and that's how my dad has always interpreted that line. The 296 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:53.200 pain of war can't exceed the woe of the aftermath. Yeah, I mean 297 00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:59.759 people like today, it feels like more so than maybe ever, but people 298 00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:07.640 seem to have like this natural propensity to want to latch onto any little fear 299 00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:11.759 and blow it way up and like, oh see what they're doing. You 300 00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.359 see in the world. Yeah, it's the in the world. It's the 301 00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:18.960 end time start buying all the food, like you know, it's like all 302 00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:22.119 right, yeah, sure, something's happened in the world, and some of 303 00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:26.160 it's not so great, but like, not everything that happens is a worldwide 304 00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:32.319 cataclysmic They're not like after us at every turn. You know, obviously there 305 00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:36.680 are bad people in the world doing horrible things, and like there's there's definitely 306 00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:41.039 strings being pulled in the background against the masses in my opinion, don't get 307 00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:45.160 it twisted, for sure, but like, come on, now, every 308 00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:48.559 little thing, like how scared are you going to get before you realize? 309 00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:55.720 All right, well, my fear doesn't help anything, right, I think 310 00:21:55.759 --> 00:22:03.039 it's I think it's more so conditioning and people have to be unconditioned, like 311 00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:08.880 just the years and years and decades of fear mongering, war mongering, most 312 00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:12.119 of the news cycles, negative news. It's like, how can you not 313 00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:15.839 feel like everybody's out to get you and that you have to, like, 314 00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:18.880 you know, be the first one in the grocery store to buy all the 315 00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:22.359 toilet paper, Yeah, you know, because how else are you gonna wipe 316 00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:27.960 us? No, I'm just like, it's it's got to be a process. 317 00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:32.359 It's like, hey, let's let's tone it down. Like I heard 318 00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:34.680 from a buddy about the whole outage thing. I'm like. He's like, 319 00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:37.920 didn't you see the news. I'm like, no, yeah, I mean 320 00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:41.599 I hate to be one of those like boomer sounding guys, but like I 321 00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:47.079 don't even look at the news at all. I only look at it when 322 00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:49.759 it's bombarded at me and it's pops up on my feet. It's yeah if 323 00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:53.519 it's like inescapable, Yeah, if they're you know whatever, But I don't 324 00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:57.759 know. I hit a point in like my probably mid twenties or so, 325 00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:03.880 where it was like every day or every week there was some new thing that 326 00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:07.680 was going on that like I have to be I'm scared, Like, oh 327 00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:11.119 my god, is this Like is this the end of the world? Is 328 00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:12.759 this the end of Like are we being attacked? Are we going to be 329 00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:18.079 attacked now? Like you know that. It's like news story after news story, 330 00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:25.680 and my fear hit that cap more than once before I realized, like, 331 00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:30.799 a I'm only gonna get so afraid and like how many times is that 332 00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:37.880 gonna happen with no actual like cataclysmic result before I realize like it's fine and 333 00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:45.599 be like being afraid doesn't do anything for anybody except hurt me and the collective 334 00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:51.119 consciousness right living in fear. It is so wild to me. It's just 335 00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:53.160 like when you break it down, not to go off on this tangent, 336 00:23:53.240 --> 00:24:00.480 please, it's just like you were you were feeling some type of way because 337 00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:04.599 somebody on some screen similar to this one that we're sitting here on, you 338 00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:10.839 told you something that evoked a feeling, right, and so it's like, 339 00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:17.559 that's that's the transaction that's happening. So did whatever happened happen. It doesn't 340 00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:22.519 matter because this person that you trust said, hey, this is happening, 341 00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:26.599 be afraid, be afraid, and you said, ah, I'm afraid because 342 00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:33.160 I heard these words like it, Like it's the reaction is the same, 343 00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:41.440 regardless of if the cause actually happened. So wild, it's like the fear 344 00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:47.160 very likely could have been the goal all along. And oh yeah, you 345 00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:49.559 know, because then you're watching, You're watching the next news cycle and the 346 00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:53.440 next well, oh, I hope they learned something about this thing I'm afraid 347 00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:56.920 of they told me to be afraid of, So I hope I hope there's 348 00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:00.880 some more news about that, because I'm trying not to be afraid. So 349 00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:03.599 I'm only gonna not be afraid if you tell me, don't be afraid. 350 00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:08.640 Literally, you're you know who said be not afraid the angels bro right. 351 00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:14.359 When I realized again, probably around my mid twenties, when I had the 352 00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:21.039 like thought the connection finally, like wait a minute, news shows are television 353 00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:26.079 shows and and their success is based off of the amount of ratings that they 354 00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:30.720 get. When I made that connection, I was like, oh, you 355 00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.799 motherfuckers. You know what the kill shot is when you find out that every 356 00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:38.279 news station in the mainstream media is owned by only six companies. Come on, 357 00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:41.759 now you know what the other kill the illusion of being opponents. Oh 358 00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:49.480 yeah, it's like, no, yea, all these major sporting outfits are 359 00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:53.640 classified I'm pretty sure this is true. You can fact check me. I 360 00:25:53.680 --> 00:26:02.039 don't care that they're they're they're classified as entertainment industries. Yeah, which is 361 00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:06.000 some sort of loophole to where what are sporting channels? Yeah? Oh like 362 00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:11.400 so like the NFL is a entertainment industry. So it's like you can kind 363 00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:15.640 of use that to support an argument that their league is rigged or the outcomes 364 00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:21.079 yeah or whatever. I little key believe that stuff. It's true. It's 365 00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:25.640 absolutely true. Yeah. I mean, bro, too many times I don't 366 00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:29.359 I've never really cared about sports, but my my dad and my brother it 367 00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:33.559 was always on the TV whatever. There were like countless times where it was 368 00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:36.759 like obvious that a team was crushing another team, and then all of a 369 00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:41.960 sudden at the half, like call after call after call after call from referees 370 00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:47.839 that's like what what what are they getting called for? Well, over and 371 00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:49.480 over and over and over and over, and then the other team would win 372 00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:53.960 and you're like hold up, Yeah, so we hadn't really addressed this and 373 00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:57.160 it's not like that important because I feel like we're falling in the mainstream by 374 00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:02.119 addressing this year. But like, okay, what can we just talk about, 375 00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:08.039 Like what are the odds Taylor? What are the odds that Taylor Scheft 376 00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:14.200 gets with a football player and that football player wins the super they wanted last 377 00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:15.599 year? No, I get it. Look, and the team's phenomenal. 378 00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:18.920 Andy Reid is like great coach, Like I get even though I can't believe, 379 00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:22.119 you know, their jersey sales for the NFL went up like four Yeah, 380 00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:26.680 what's you know what I don't understand about this. I don't understand why 381 00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:32.599 more people in America, the land of the Underdog, were not all about 382 00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:36.480 the brock pretty underdog story. Bro. You know, I'm so confused this 383 00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:40.240 this is the power of that. My wife and I were flying back from 384 00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:44.039 Florida in December, and you know, Jenny likes Taylor Swift, like we 385 00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:47.079 we listen to Taylor Swift, like some of her songs are pretty. And 386 00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:48.880 I mean, you didn't have to admit that, but that's fine and admit 387 00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:52.920 that. Yeah, I mean, you're on the wrong side of the fence, 388 00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:55.759 Alex, Yeah, honestly you are. I mean, how about like 389 00:27:55.880 --> 00:28:03.119 not judging people wave that bro? We about positivity in here, Brian, 390 00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:04.720 I'm sorry. You can listen to whatever you want. It doesn't bother me 391 00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:07.599 or have it. Oh, I know it, Son, it doesn't have 392 00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:11.680 any bearing on my life. I would have come out on this show and 393 00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:14.839 said a lot of things. No, but for real, you know. 394 00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:17.799 So so Jenny thought this was really funny, and she's aware of the like 395 00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:19.920 crazy fandom stuff, but also like, you like what you like and it 396 00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:23.240 doesn't really like Dude, if everybody that told me Naruto had a toxic fan 397 00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:26.839 base when we were in high school and I gave into that, I would 398 00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:29.039 have never watched it and I would have missed out on a great show. 399 00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:32.240 Yeah you know what I mean, like who of all time? Yeah, 400 00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:33.400 because back when were in high school, everybody was like, oh dude, 401 00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:37.920 the people that like Naruto are weird and they're running around when him z owns 402 00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:38.759 and it was true, but it's like, damn, it's a good show. 403 00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:41.240 Where are you going with this? Football? School? Was that kid? 404 00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:47.400 I was flying home from uh Florida in December and Jenny was like, 405 00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:52.599 look and there was legit like a twelve year old girl on across the aisle 406 00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:59.480 right beside me watching the NFL on her tablet? What And Jenny was like, 407 00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:02.480 Dad, is exactly why this partnership happened. Jenny was like, she's 408 00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:06.240 a Tailor Swift fan, right what twelve year old girl would be watching NFL? 409 00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:07.359 And we were just kind of like not being mean, but like giggling, 410 00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:11.200 like this is ridiculous wits. Don't sit here and tell me I can't 411 00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:22.720 judge people. It's different, you got it. You gotta hate The difference 412 00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.920 is I didn't look at the girl and be like you fucking take I wouldn't 413 00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:34.680 have admitted that it's a little bit like football. Yeah, No, it's 414 00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:41.200 a little different. When you're giggling very clearly. You know what. You 415 00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:45.359 just go on, man, go yeah, yeah, go on, man, 416 00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:48.039 go on, get out mister mister. Oh, I'm not going to 417 00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:52.960 weigh in on at and tis. I did it. I did it. 418 00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:56.880 Yeah, don't. I took us off the rails. Can I pull us 419 00:29:56.920 --> 00:29:59.799 back here? No? No, I'm glad you did this. I'm god 420 00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:04.960 I enjoyed the conversation. This is all tertiarily related. The point is I 421 00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:07.880 agree with you about the NFL all that stuff being ragged. No, I 422 00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:11.480 know it's all right. I don't want to die on that hill, though 423 00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:15.599 I am not dying on an NFL being rigged hill. Okay, see what 424 00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:22.640 she does to us, man, this is why she shouldn't be. The 425 00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:26.039 other day, Nick was like, on your on Alex at dad's porch. 426 00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:29.599 Nick as in Alex's brother, Nick was like, dude, I swear man, 427 00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:33.200 there's frequencies in her music. Think about it. And I'm like, 428 00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:40.279 I mean, I mean probably, I mean, come on now, oh 429 00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:42.759 yeah, there's something. No, I want to I want to pull up 430 00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:47.799 here the frequency in the music. Thing. I can't. I can only 431 00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:52.079 shut it down so many times. It doesn't it doesn't make sense, doesn't 432 00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:53.920 make sense, you can't. You can't do that, like from a music 433 00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:59.079 theory perspective, from music. So just to break it down as simple as 434 00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:03.599 possible, the frequencies that we know of that have effects on the human body 435 00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:10.519 are outside of the frequency ranges of the standard twelve note system that has been 436 00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:15.480 used for everything thousands of years. Well, I mean less than two thousand, 437 00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:19.839 I think. But so what would be more probable than the frequencies in 438 00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:25.960 the music would be message suggestive messages and what do they call that? That's 439 00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:33.880 illegal? It's a it's illegal in America. Yeah, Because just the simplest 440 00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:37.039 way to put it is, if they put frequencies that could have an effect 441 00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:41.599 on the human body into music, it would sound horrible because it would be 442 00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:48.279 completely out of yeah, and it would be out of key from the song 443 00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:52.920 itself. So it's like, because those notes don't match into the twelve note 444 00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:56.680 system, they're like they're like fine tuned completely outside of that range. They're 445 00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:01.039 in between our twelve notes. So like it's that's just not possible. But 446 00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:07.680 the subliminal messaging thing, I've yeah, I one thousand percent believe that that's 447 00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:09.359 Like, dude, you listen. Think about it. You hear a catchy 448 00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:15.759 song and you listen to it fifty times in a year. Let's say that 449 00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:21.640 message is getting pumped into your subconscious Yeah, whatever the message is or the 450 00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:23.480 song is about, like that, especially Mileys Harris. I'm a witch, 451 00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:27.880 I'm evil. I'm like, man, you really you're inciting a ton of 452 00:32:28.039 --> 00:32:30.680 young ladies just be singing that. Yeah, Like, what are you doing? 453 00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:32.599 To be honest, I never heard that song. I don't, but 454 00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:35.759 I want to go listen to it now, just to see how close that 455 00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:38.839 singing was. Think of the children. Man, it's bad enough. We 456 00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:44.480 got to watch an NFL on planes. Yeah, on playing young ladies. 457 00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:46.759 Yeah, it's crazy, bro And I said, I never, I never 458 00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:52.000 said, I judge her. I giggled because of the effect that the artist 459 00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:54.079 had on this young girl who doesn't give a flying fuck about football. Yeah, 460 00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:57.759 I never. I never knew who brock Pretty was, but I'm a 461 00:32:57.839 --> 00:33:00.240 big brock Pretty fan. Now. Who is that rock party is?

Man, he was the last draft What 464 00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:22.519 are you saying? I said, I said the forty nine ers, he 465 00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:27.799 said twenty off man.

If you remember where we 497 00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:39.920 left off, the Apples of the Valley, Hold the seeds of happiness. 498 00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:44.199 The ground is rich from tender care, repay. Do not forget, no, 499 00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:45.320 no, Oh, dance in the dark of night, sing to the 500 00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:49.679 morning light. The apples turned to brown and black. The tyrants face is 501 00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:52.760 red. Oh, the war is calm and cry, pick up your swords 502 00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:54.559 and fly. The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals will never 503 00:35:54.639 --> 00:35:58.800 know. Oh well, the night is long. The beads of time pass 504 00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:01.679 slow, eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow. The pain 505 00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:04.599 of war. Oh, I did actually read this part. I'm sorry, 506 00:36:04.599 --> 00:36:07.679 I'm loving it going. The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath. 507 00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:10.719 The drums will shake the castle wall. The ring rates right in black, 508 00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:15.800 right on. Uh, seeing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter 509 00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:20.519 than before. No comfort has fire at night. The lights wo that lights 510 00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:22.000 the face so cold. Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing 511 00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:25.920 to the morning light. The magic runes are written gold. To bring the 512 00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:31.519 balance back. O, bring it back at last. The sun is shining. 513 00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:36.760 The clouds of blue roll by with flames from the dragon of darkness. 514 00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:39.440 The sunlight blinds his eyes and then the rest of it is just like, 515 00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:44.760 bring it back, Bring it back, dude, come on, tell me 516 00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:47.840 that's not like prophecy about like the Final War, you know, metaphorically like 517 00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:52.039 the spiritual forces, the final war of darkness and light and the Eastern Glow 518 00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:55.119 and the angels of Avalon coming down and the sky is filled with the good 519 00:36:55.159 --> 00:36:59.360 and bad and you know, the tyrant is destroyed and the dragon of darkness 520 00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:01.760 is blinded the light of the sun. It's it's like it's like biblical prophecy. 521 00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:07.880 Man also wild that lord of the rings two Towers, uh Gandolf shines 522 00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:13.800 a white hot light at the ring rays to make them fly away. Yeah, 523 00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:20.360 like bro it's and and also the this this allegory, this like endless 524 00:37:21.320 --> 00:37:27.440 uh war, this final war between good and evil is like one of the 525 00:37:27.519 --> 00:37:32.480 most used tropes out there. But if you pay attention, like it's low 526 00:37:32.559 --> 00:37:37.119 key, the most important, like it is, it's the central it's the 527 00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:44.760 core message of so many because popular works throughout history absolutely like it's not just 528 00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:47.880 for nothing, and also like you can feel it in your soul. It 529 00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:57.880 just resonates that it's not just talking about material good bad fight like it's it's 530 00:37:57.960 --> 00:38:00.440 a it's a battle of souls, right, the spiritual wars, Yes, 531 00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:05.599 yes, it's a spiritual war, absolute dude. Even growing up like it 532 00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:08.360 was, it was so weird. But around the time that my parents made 533 00:38:08.360 --> 00:38:13.639 me rip up my Pokemon cards, that the way that they would rationalize if 534 00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:17.199 things were okay to watch or not is they would tell me, well, 535 00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:21.760 yeah, like that's sure, you can watch Lord of the Rings. That's 536 00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:28.239 fine because that's about the battle of good versus evil. Literally bro literally thatjectively 537 00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:34.679 way more horrifying than and magical and demonic and Pokemon. Oh absolutely, absolutely 538 00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:38.079 they would rather. That's how they would like. That was their barometer for 539 00:38:38.239 --> 00:38:42.239 if it was okay for me to watch or not. There are demons in 540 00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:45.960 Lord of the Rings. There there is a fucking king of darkness, Like 541 00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:50.760 there's like a stitch king. Yeah, there's like a straight up Satan character 542 00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:57.039 like with an eye of flame. Like it's it's pure evil, Like it 543 00:38:57.199 --> 00:39:00.039 is pure fucking evil. And yes, they're right, like it's like the 544 00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:06.400 good triumphs over the evil, and so ultimately it is like the best message 545 00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:10.480 that there is. But like, come on, it's like cutesy little blue 546 00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:15.599 and red animals like shooting little water and fire at each other versus like a 547 00:39:16.280 --> 00:39:23.960 fucking orcs, limbs flying around and like eating people eating like that was the 548 00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:28.639 barometer. Okay, yeah, no, that's the You kind of got lucky 549 00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:31.119 that you were able to watch. You're very lucky. Yeah, I really 550 00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:34.360 did get it. That's hilarious. Okay, So if we thought it was 551 00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:37.960 a coincidence, the Battle of Evermore literally started with the Queen of Light. 552 00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:40.199 Right, Oh okay, Chris Bletso saw a lady, she says, beams 553 00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:44.000 LEDs up on into his head songs about Queen of Light. Well, let's 554 00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:47.119 take a look. Stairway you ready, stairway to Heaven. There's a lady. 555 00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:52.639 Wait can you take wait, can you do the the can you do 556 00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:58.960 the intro Stairway to Heaven? Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom 557 00:39:59.079 --> 00:40:07.360 boom. This says something like, yeah, dune down, huh boom boom. 558 00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:13.760 Yeah, that's exactly it goes. Yeah, check it. There's a 559 00:40:13.960 --> 00:40:20.360 lady in the sky. Put your hands up. There is a lady who's 560 00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:23.440 sure all that glitters is gold, and she's buying a stairway to Heaven. 561 00:40:23.800 --> 00:40:28.280 When she gets there, she knows if the stores are all closed with a 562 00:40:28.360 --> 00:40:30.679 word, she can get what she came for. Oh, and she's buying 563 00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:32.440 a stairway to heaven. There's a sign on the wall, but she wants 564 00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:36.239 to be sure, because you know, sometimes words can have two meanings. 565 00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:39.760 In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings. Sometimes all 566 00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:44.239 of our thoughts are misgiven. It makes me wonder, It makes me wonder. 567 00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:46.719 There's a feeling I get when I look to the west and my spirit 568 00:40:46.880 --> 00:40:51.719 is crying for leaving and my thoughts. I have seen rings of smoke through 569 00:40:51.719 --> 00:40:53.360 the trees and the voices of those who stand looking. What are they looking 570 00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:58.239 at? I don't know. Oh, it makes me wonder, really makes 571 00:40:58.320 --> 00:41:01.400 me wonder, And it's whispered, that's soon. If we all call the 572 00:41:01.480 --> 00:41:05.280 tune, then the piper will lead us to reason. Hang on, hang 573 00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:08.239 on, pause, because that that lyric right there reminds me of when your 574 00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:12.760 dad gets everybody on the same page to look up at the sky. Yeah, 575 00:41:12.760 --> 00:41:15.880 we all call the tune. Yeah wow, like tuning into the same 576 00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:22.400 frequency, tuning into the same like mind wave, mind wave. And it's 577 00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:25.360 whispered that soon. If we all call the tune, then the piper will 578 00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:29.880 lead us to reason and a new day will dawn for those who stand long 579 00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:31.880 in the forests will echo with laughter age of Aquarius. I don't know. 580 00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:36.559 Damn if there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now, it's 581 00:41:36.599 --> 00:41:38.719 just a spring clean for the may queen. Yes, there are two pads 582 00:41:38.760 --> 00:41:40.880 you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to 583 00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:44.519 change the roads you're on. And it makes me wonder. Your head is 584 00:41:44.559 --> 00:41:45.800 humming and it won't go. In case you don't know, the piper is 585 00:41:45.840 --> 00:41:50.840 calling you to join his zetta. Sorry, was that a right hand left 586 00:41:50.840 --> 00:41:53.800 hand path? Reference there too? That's what I was to pass. Two 587 00:41:53.840 --> 00:41:58.280 pads you can go by. Yes, there are two pads you can go 588 00:41:58.400 --> 00:42:00.639 by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road 589 00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:04.679 you're on. I think about it like Christ consciousness awakening, like you can 590 00:42:04.800 --> 00:42:08.079 never it's never too late to get on the right path. It makes me 591 00:42:08.159 --> 00:42:10.559 wonder your head is humming and it won't go. And in case you don't 592 00:42:10.599 --> 00:42:13.679 know, the piper is calling you to join him. Dear lady, can 593 00:42:13.719 --> 00:42:15.079 you hear the wind blow? And did you know your stairway lies on the 594 00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:20.119 whispering wind? And as we wind on down the road our shadows taller than 595 00:42:20.159 --> 00:42:23.119 our soul. There walks a lady we all know, who shines white light 596 00:42:23.239 --> 00:42:28.440 and wants to show how everything still turns to gold alchemy the soul, right, 597 00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:30.639 o man, And if you listen very hard, the tune will come 598 00:42:30.679 --> 00:42:34.599 to you. At last. When all are one and one is all to 599 00:42:34.719 --> 00:42:37.800 be a rock and not to roll. Rock and roll baby, and she's 600 00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:42.079 buying a stairway to heaven. Damn, when all are one and one is 601 00:42:42.119 --> 00:42:44.760 all to be a rock and not to roll. I think about it like 602 00:42:44.840 --> 00:42:49.079 the transmutation of the soul and the awakening, you know, like first of 603 00:42:49.119 --> 00:42:51.239 all, there's a lady, there's a queen of light and two of their 604 00:42:51.320 --> 00:42:53.039 songs. Oh yeah, no, no, that's where did they get that 605 00:42:53.079 --> 00:42:58.119 from exactly? That's like a central recurring theme, this lady of light, 606 00:42:58.360 --> 00:43:01.920 this lady that will following. And it also mentioned a may queen, which 607 00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:07.119 is obviously referring to the same entity most likely. But it's like there's all 608 00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:12.480 this imagery of this like divine feminine entity or energy. We were a big 609 00:43:12.639 --> 00:43:15.719 van Halen family. I want to harp on this real quick, okay, 610 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:24.360 because in in the fifth grade, I had to do a project and it 611 00:43:24.480 --> 00:43:29.920 was the worst project ever where we had to take a song and then change 612 00:43:30.039 --> 00:43:32.519 one word in the song to give it a new meeting. Ultimately I ended 613 00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:37.039 up, but I ended up choosing Stairway to Heaven. Oh N. So 614 00:43:37.199 --> 00:43:39.800 I have read those lyrics and listen to that song like I can't listen to 615 00:43:39.840 --> 00:43:45.000 it anymore because I over listened it. Right, So anyway, I may 616 00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:49.320 be telling you guys something that you're like, yeah, duh, But this 617 00:43:49.480 --> 00:43:53.639 is the first time hearing it said where I'm sitting here thinking she's not buying 618 00:43:53.719 --> 00:44:00.320 the Stairway to Heaven for herself. This is not a selfish I always thought 619 00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:04.119 for us to be a selfish acts. She's building the Stairway to Heaven. 620 00:44:04.480 --> 00:44:09.639 She's bridging the worlds for us. I and if we all call the tune, 621 00:44:10.800 --> 00:44:14.880 we get to use it. This is late to change the roads you're 622 00:44:14.920 --> 00:44:17.960 on? Right, No, Alex, No you're that That did not occur 623 00:44:19.079 --> 00:44:22.400 to me at all until this moment. Yeah, every time I listen to 624 00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:24.800 the song, I think, damn, that lady, she just keeps, 625 00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:29.840 she comes down, she buys whatever she wants. Stairway to Heaven. Yeah, 626 00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:32.039 I always thought of like the Tower of Babylon, Like yeah, like 627 00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:36.280 that or something. Yeah, that's what I meant. Jacob's like they're trying 628 00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:42.880 to like find some material way into the spiritual. Oh okay, like yeah, 629 00:44:42.920 --> 00:44:46.079 like cheating their way to heaven kind of thing. Sele, Wow, 630 00:44:47.079 --> 00:44:54.440 yeah, you just be No, that's that's really really insightful. Alex. 631 00:44:54.559 --> 00:45:00.440 That's crazy anytime that I'm hearing the lyrics broken down, like like okay, 632 00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:05.679 wait, let's take this a step further. No, no, no, 633 00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:08.960 no, no, no, we have done that in like three years. 634 00:45:09.480 --> 00:45:13.639 It's not it's not it's not. It's she's buying a stairway to heaven, 635 00:45:14.480 --> 00:45:21.199 and so like, let's just pretend that this is an exact relation to your 636 00:45:21.239 --> 00:45:29.239 father's story and the lady. What did this cost the lady? Like what 637 00:45:30.239 --> 00:45:37.320 karmicalle or like what at what cost did the lady come and buy this stairway 638 00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:43.159 to heaven to interface with us, to help us on our journey? Is 639 00:45:43.239 --> 00:45:45.119 this rhetorical or do you have no? I mean, is it? I 640 00:45:45.159 --> 00:45:47.960 don't know. I mean I don't expect you guys to have the answer. 641 00:45:49.119 --> 00:45:52.880 Do you I'm like hooked right now, and I'm like begging you for the 642 00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:55.159 answer. Do you have the answer? Well, no, because I'm sitting 643 00:45:55.159 --> 00:45:59.280 here thinking, you know what, like because i'm and correct me if I'm 644 00:45:59.280 --> 00:46:06.599 wrong. But she said, we're we're the the guardians of of humanity and 645 00:46:06.760 --> 00:46:08.840 we're the shepherds of humanity. Well being said that. The being said that, 646 00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:12.719 Okay, so not the lady. I think the lady is a little 647 00:46:12.719 --> 00:46:16.639 bit, but she's a being. So I'm sitting here thinking, like like 648 00:46:16.800 --> 00:46:22.039 comically or like because I don't I don't think that there's like like angel lady 649 00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:24.719 currency, But I'm like, dang, like what did it cost her? 650 00:46:24.840 --> 00:46:30.000 Like what like what was the cost? Because nothing's free, right, Like 651 00:46:30.760 --> 00:46:37.000 maybe maybe the cost because like if you think about we've talked about the realm 652 00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:42.199 of the phenomenon as sort of like that they're in the spirit realm that which 653 00:46:42.679 --> 00:46:45.400 you could call it heaven or whatever whatever you want to call it. So 654 00:46:45.519 --> 00:46:52.920 maybe the cost is like being here instead of being there, like she is 655 00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:59.239 here helping us. It's similar to it's a parallel to like the story of 656 00:46:59.360 --> 00:47:02.599 Jesus. Mean yeah, like God, because God and Jesus could have been 657 00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:06.079 That's what I was thinking. The price was some sort of could have I 658 00:47:06.159 --> 00:47:08.639 mean, you could just be chilling in heav right, Yeah, yeah, 659 00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:14.199 you didn't. You decided to come down and experience pain. It's like it's 660 00:47:14.280 --> 00:47:17.920 like Galadriel from the Lord of the Rings. She was gonna she was gonna 661 00:47:17.960 --> 00:47:22.159 pass on to the land of the West. And he said, he keeps 662 00:47:22.199 --> 00:47:27.599 looking towards the west for his soul. Yes. Uh. And she was 663 00:47:27.679 --> 00:47:30.199 on the ship about to pass into the land of Valenor, which is heaven, 664 00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:35.199 and she looked back on the world of man, and she dove out 665 00:47:35.239 --> 00:47:38.320 of that ship and she came back nice. She sacrificed. That's the cost. 666 00:47:38.519 --> 00:47:44.519 Maybe, you know, she sacrificed that like paradise to come here and 667 00:47:44.719 --> 00:47:47.360 into this like you know, hell, like realm, if you would, 668 00:47:49.119 --> 00:47:52.360 and like help humanity. That's really cool. Let's let's move on because I 669 00:47:52.400 --> 00:47:55.199 got two more songs, okay, And this is going by a lot quicker 670 00:47:55.199 --> 00:47:58.280 than I thought it would. So remember I told you when I was a 671 00:47:58.360 --> 00:48:00.800 kid, we were all up and down Van Halen. Dude, that's my 672 00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:05.360 dad's favorite band of all time, Big van Halen family as well. Yeah, 673 00:48:05.599 --> 00:48:07.199 as we got older, it became more led Zeppelin. But like literally 674 00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:09.920 when I was a kid, we were jamming Van Halen and yeah. Dad 675 00:48:10.039 --> 00:48:13.000 was like, oh, yeah, the song love Walks in. Go look 676 00:48:13.039 --> 00:48:15.079 at the lyrics. There's a message in it. I was like, Okay. 677 00:48:15.800 --> 00:48:21.599 Contact is all it takes to change your life, to lose your place 678 00:48:21.679 --> 00:48:25.039 and time. Contact asleep or awake coming around. You may wake up to 679 00:48:25.159 --> 00:48:31.760 find questions deep with it now more than you ever realize. And then you 680 00:48:31.880 --> 00:48:36.840 sense a change. Nothing feels the same. All your dreams are strange. 681 00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:40.960 Love comes walking in some kind of alien, waits for the opening, then 682 00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:45.239 simply pulls a string. Another world, some other time. You lay your 683 00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:49.599 sanity on the line. Familiar faces, familiar sights, reach back, remember 684 00:48:49.679 --> 00:48:52.360 with all your white, all your might. Oh there she stands in a 685 00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:57.960 silken gown, silver lights shining down. So when you sense a change, 686 00:48:58.039 --> 00:49:00.800 nothing feels the same. All your dreams are strange. Love comes walking in 687 00:49:01.239 --> 00:49:06.519 some kind of alien, waits for the open opening, then simply pulls a 688 00:49:06.559 --> 00:49:09.519 string. Love comes walking in. Oh, sleeping dream is all I crave. 689 00:49:09.559 --> 00:49:13.440 I travel far across the milky Way to my master. I become a 690 00:49:13.480 --> 00:49:16.639 slave till we meet again some other day, where silence speaks as loud as 691 00:49:16.679 --> 00:49:20.800 war. Earth returns to what it was before, and then you sense a 692 00:49:20.920 --> 00:49:23.360 change. Nothing feels the same. All your dreams are strange. Love comes 693 00:49:23.400 --> 00:49:27.599 walking in. Some kind of alien waits for the opening, then simply pulls 694 00:49:27.639 --> 00:49:30.719 a string. Love comes walking in, and then it just repeats. Love 695 00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:34.159 comes walking in, dude, some kind of alien. A lady in a 696 00:49:34.239 --> 00:49:37.280 silver gown walks in, and she's addressed as love, and she takes you 697 00:49:37.360 --> 00:49:40.159 far across the milky way. Come on, it could not be more on 698 00:49:40.239 --> 00:49:44.119 the nose. And when you hear that song, like when I was a 699 00:49:44.199 --> 00:49:46.719 kid, you know, my dad would be like singing that song like to 700 00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:50.480 my mom, like in the car, like looking at my mom, like 701 00:49:50.639 --> 00:49:52.760 schmoozing her up. Whatever. So I'm always like, oh, it's a 702 00:49:52.880 --> 00:49:57.239 cheesy love song. Whatever, it's just a love song. But then looking 703 00:49:57.280 --> 00:50:00.960 at it through this lens, it's so obvious. It's weird. It's it's 704 00:50:01.079 --> 00:50:05.079 very weird, and I'm like, I've never looked into this, but I'm 705 00:50:05.119 --> 00:50:10.920 compelled to look into Like if Sammy Hagar had some sort of UFO experience, 706 00:50:12.039 --> 00:50:15.719 probably did, because that's a Sammy Hagar van Halen song, right, I 707 00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:20.360 mean that's not David Lee Roth. That is which album, is it show 708 00:50:21.719 --> 00:50:24.800 that's Sammy Hagar. Yeah, that's Sammy Hagar. Okay, so this might 709 00:50:24.840 --> 00:50:28.800 be the weirdest one of them all. This is after the gold Rush that 710 00:50:28.960 --> 00:50:31.320 Neil Young. Yeah, this is crazy. This is one of the main 711 00:50:31.400 --> 00:50:37.360 songs that the phenomenon told him. They were like after the gold Rush, 712 00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:45.360 Battle of Evermore and then Love Walks In and Cashmere. It was. It 713 00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:49.079 was a few songs, but this is one of the ogs. And this 714 00:50:49.280 --> 00:50:52.840 is me and Ryan's first like experience. Yeah. When I when I was 715 00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:57.320 explaining this to Alex, he was just shook. So it says, well, 716 00:50:57.320 --> 00:51:00.599 I dreamed I saw the knights and armor coming saying something about a queen. 717 00:51:01.480 --> 00:51:05.639 There were peasants singing and drummer's drumming, and the archer split the tree. 718 00:51:06.519 --> 00:51:07.639 This came out in the seventies. By the way, there was a 719 00:51:07.719 --> 00:51:12.599 fanfare blowing to the sun that was floating on the breeze. Look at Mother 720 00:51:12.719 --> 00:51:15.960 Nature on the run in the nineteen seventies. Look at Mother Nature on the 721 00:51:15.039 --> 00:51:19.639 run in the nineteen seventies. I was lying in a burned out basement with 722 00:51:19.719 --> 00:51:22.000 a full moon in my eyes. I was hoping for replacement. When the 723 00:51:22.039 --> 00:51:25.119 sun burst through the sky. There was a band playing in my head and 724 00:51:25.199 --> 00:51:28.719 I felt like getting high. I was thinking about what a friend had said. 725 00:51:28.760 --> 00:51:30.679 I was hoping it was a lie. Thinking about what a friend had 726 00:51:30.719 --> 00:51:36.119 said, hoping it was a lie. Well, I dreamed. I saw 727 00:51:36.199 --> 00:51:38.880 the silver space ships lying in the yellow haze of the sun. There were 728 00:51:38.960 --> 00:51:44.079 children crying and colors flying all around, the chosen ones, all in a 729 00:51:44.199 --> 00:51:46.920 dream, all in a dream. The loading had begun, flying Mother Nature's 730 00:51:46.920 --> 00:51:58.079 silver seed to a new home in the sun. That's very weird. That's 731 00:51:58.280 --> 00:52:04.360 very very weird. Is weird? There are so many things. So yeah, 732 00:52:04.440 --> 00:52:07.639 so something I wanted to hit on, which was I think this was 733 00:52:07.719 --> 00:52:12.400 initially Alex's idea for this episode was like the more I started digging after my 734 00:52:12.519 --> 00:52:15.840 dad told me these things, I started researching into led Zeppelin. And it 735 00:52:16.039 --> 00:52:22.920 turns out, as you guys know, Jimmy Page was like an extremely devout 736 00:52:22.199 --> 00:52:30.800 disciple of Aleistter Crowley's teachings, went so far as to buy Aleistair Crowley's bullskin 737 00:52:31.119 --> 00:52:37.400 manner, which is like the mansion that sits on lockneis lockedness. So there 738 00:52:37.480 --> 00:52:42.400 are actually conspiracies out there, like if there's any sort of nessy entity or 739 00:52:42.480 --> 00:52:45.960 whatever is going on with lockness. Some people out there think it's because of 740 00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:50.320 that manner, if there's anything at all, I have no idea how could 741 00:52:50.320 --> 00:52:54.760 I ever know full disclosure, I did not know that where I did not 742 00:52:54.920 --> 00:53:00.519 know that that is wild. Yeah, And Jimmy Page actually reported that it 743 00:53:00.719 --> 00:53:07.119 was haunted by a head of a previously beheaded soldier or whoever owned the manor 744 00:53:07.199 --> 00:53:12.840 before and yeah, and he would do rituals and sort of occult practices there. 745 00:53:13.239 --> 00:53:17.199 And when they were asked like what is the meaning behind the symbols and 746 00:53:17.360 --> 00:53:22.079 the name Zoso on the Zoso album, they didn't really give like a real 747 00:53:22.239 --> 00:53:27.760 explanation other than that it was esoteric in nature. And we you know, 748 00:53:27.880 --> 00:53:31.639 we know for a fact that Jimmy Page was into the esoteric, and it 749 00:53:31.760 --> 00:53:38.199 speculated that Zoso was the name of some sort of demon that perhaps may have 750 00:53:38.360 --> 00:53:44.000 been communicated through with a Wuiji board that gave the name Zoso. Is any 751 00:53:44.039 --> 00:53:46.519 of this true, I don't know. What I do know is that he 752 00:53:46.679 --> 00:53:52.119 really said these things, which right there automatically that gives us like a firm 753 00:53:52.239 --> 00:53:57.360 connection to led Zeppelin and some sort of knowledge of the occult right, so 754 00:53:57.440 --> 00:54:00.639 we understand, do I really know that they're evil? In talk the demons 755 00:54:00.719 --> 00:54:02.199 know? And quite frankly, I don't care. I don't know them. 756 00:54:02.760 --> 00:54:06.960 But what I do know is that there's some sort of esoteric symbolism in their 757 00:54:07.039 --> 00:54:09.679 music for sure, right, without a doubt. To deny that at this 758 00:54:09.800 --> 00:54:14.519 point would would kind of like border on ignorance, considering that, like it's 759 00:54:14.880 --> 00:54:19.320 public knowledge that Jimmy Page was a disciple of the occult, you know, 760 00:54:19.719 --> 00:54:22.559 dude, black Dog. Yeah, I don't know the lyrics, but it's 761 00:54:22.880 --> 00:54:28.960 it's about the serious. Yeah, and even like the Immigrant song is a 762 00:54:29.039 --> 00:54:32.599 song about Norse mythology. Yeah, Like it's like you know, they're talking 763 00:54:32.639 --> 00:54:37.239 about Balhalla in that song like and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 764 00:54:38.039 --> 00:54:40.480 I wish you would put the camera on yourself when you did that, But 765 00:54:42.400 --> 00:54:45.639 I'm so glad I've been trying to camera. I'll forgive you even that, 766 00:54:45.880 --> 00:54:49.480 which, like you know, somebody could say, what about immigrants song, 767 00:54:49.599 --> 00:54:54.360 Like even that is about we just did a Norse Mythology episode about how esoteric 768 00:54:54.440 --> 00:55:00.880 it is absolutely like mythology. All of their songs have like these fantastical lyrics. 769 00:55:01.039 --> 00:55:06.280 It's very high fantasy, high mythology, high occult, esoteric, like 770 00:55:06.480 --> 00:55:10.519 it's rich in their music, not to mention like, uh, when led 771 00:55:10.599 --> 00:55:15.079 Zeppelin was at their prime, they were literally the biggest band in the world. 772 00:55:15.519 --> 00:55:20.800 Yeah. So, like if there was a band that some CIA operative 773 00:55:21.079 --> 00:55:23.480 would like try to you know, we know what's that band that was, 774 00:55:23.639 --> 00:55:29.159 uh, the one that the CIA worked with, the Grateful Dead, like 775 00:55:29.559 --> 00:55:34.440 the Doors. Yeah that's because uh gosh, you got me on the spot 776 00:55:34.480 --> 00:55:38.920 here and I can't remember the name Morris Jefferson. His father was in the 777 00:55:38.960 --> 00:55:42.360 CIA, was high level CIA. I'm just saying, like, we know 778 00:55:42.559 --> 00:55:46.400 that they work with artists and and slip you know, propaganda and information and 779 00:55:46.440 --> 00:55:50.800 things like that. And you know, we also know because they studied your 780 00:55:50.880 --> 00:55:53.599 boy, that they're very aware of occult knowledge and the phenomenon and prophecies and 781 00:55:53.639 --> 00:55:57.639 things of that nature. They're very, very fucking interested in that stuff. 782 00:55:57.639 --> 00:56:00.360 I can tell you that through lived experience, and it would make sense to 783 00:56:00.440 --> 00:56:04.519 me that if that was true, that they actually did that, led Zeppelin 784 00:56:04.519 --> 00:56:09.039 would be the band to do it. Yeah. Absolutely. The symbol the 785 00:56:09.119 --> 00:56:14.360 symbols are everywhere. The symbology in the lyrics is everywhere, and I mean 786 00:56:14.719 --> 00:56:19.639 like it's that's one of the most on the nose examples, like that's Jimmy 787 00:56:19.719 --> 00:56:24.079 Page is the name that gets brought up the most in the like hateful discussions 788 00:56:24.079 --> 00:56:29.400 about rock music and the devil. It's it's always Jimmy Page, Like led 789 00:56:29.480 --> 00:56:36.599 Zeppel Ozzy, Yeah, well think about it. Ozzie came after after eighties. 790 00:56:36.880 --> 00:56:38.599 Yeah, I mean they were around in the seventies, like the late 791 00:56:38.719 --> 00:56:43.519 seventies, but yeah, Ozzy is very much like after the whole led Zeppelin 792 00:56:43.599 --> 00:56:46.880 wave. So they they try to point at led Zeppelin and Jimmy Page as 793 00:56:46.960 --> 00:56:52.639 like the original example. Dude, even in a even in Pick of Destiny 794 00:56:52.800 --> 00:56:57.000 like that that he was the first like rock guitarist that got a hold of 795 00:56:57.039 --> 00:57:00.239 the pick. I think I'm pretty sure, pretty sure it was Jimmy Page, 796 00:57:00.280 --> 00:57:02.840 and then it eventually fell into the hands of Eddie van Halen, which, 797 00:57:02.920 --> 00:57:06.800 by the way, we didn't say all rip, all right, oh 798 00:57:06.920 --> 00:57:09.920 yeah, that breaks my heart. That was I don't really get crushed over 799 00:57:10.000 --> 00:57:13.719 like celebrity death and things like that, but that one was like, dang, 800 00:57:14.400 --> 00:57:17.719 yeah, that's like he's the reason why I play guitar. The first 801 00:57:17.760 --> 00:57:21.159 time I ever went to Nick's house, I was like fifteen years old. 802 00:57:21.519 --> 00:57:22.519 I was like, can you play a eruption by Van Halen? And you're 803 00:57:22.519 --> 00:57:29.639 just like, my but you know why. But you know why because my 804 00:57:29.880 --> 00:57:35.360 dad showed me a video of Eddie van Halen playing eruption and he was just 805 00:57:35.639 --> 00:57:39.480 it was the most mind blowing thing I've ever seen. It truly really blew 806 00:57:39.559 --> 00:57:44.239 my mind. I'll never forget him showing me that. And then he was 807 00:57:44.360 --> 00:57:45.639 like, Okay, he showed me and then he was like, Nick, 808 00:57:46.599 --> 00:57:52.320 I will get you a guitar, a simple guitar if you can learn that 809 00:57:52.480 --> 00:57:54.880 song, I'll buy you any piece of guitar equipment you want, wow, 810 00:57:55.159 --> 00:58:00.400 anything. And so I got a guitar that Christmas. I made it my 811 00:58:00.519 --> 00:58:06.559 mission and I learned it. And then he bought me this freaking huge sweet 812 00:58:06.719 --> 00:58:09.360 Marshal amp. You remember that big marshal huge You would sit on it? 813 00:58:09.639 --> 00:58:13.039 Yeah? Literally, I turn it on, sit on it to play. 814 00:58:13.159 --> 00:58:15.599 Yeah, yep, that's like that is ingreat. That's a that was a 815 00:58:15.639 --> 00:58:19.920 core memory. You know, it's crazy there. So last Christmas, I 816 00:58:20.000 --> 00:58:22.599 went to a wedding in Cleveland, Ohio. So naturally we went to the 817 00:58:22.679 --> 00:58:24.519 Rock and Roll Museum or Hall of Fame or whatever it's called. And I 818 00:58:24.599 --> 00:58:30.480 went to like this exhibit on the top floor that had like these documentary stock 819 00:58:30.559 --> 00:58:34.239 videos about like rock legends, like eddievan Halem was one of them, and 820 00:58:34.360 --> 00:58:38.880 he was explaining in his sex segment that the way he learned how to do 821 00:58:39.599 --> 00:58:45.960 fingertapping was he was like watching Jimmy Page Page on stage. He was doing 822 00:58:46.079 --> 00:58:51.119 it was basically like Jimmy would hit it out and then hold his guitar up 823 00:58:51.280 --> 00:58:54.159 in the air and do hammer on and pull off notes, which is like 824 00:58:54.239 --> 00:58:59.320 a fairly simple thing. But Eddie saw that and was like, what if 825 00:58:59.360 --> 00:59:02.800 I did that and then just did one more finger and then he you know, 826 00:59:02.880 --> 00:59:08.519 he used to turn around. Yeah, yeah, because he saw it, 827 00:59:08.599 --> 00:59:13.119 and I thought that was so cool. It was just kind of like 828 00:59:13.239 --> 00:59:15.519 to build the mystique around it, because even in interviews he would be like, 829 00:59:15.719 --> 00:59:19.519 no, I didn't invent it. People were always like, you invented 830 00:59:19.559 --> 00:59:22.159 this brand new Like He's like, no, I didn't invent it. I 831 00:59:22.199 --> 00:59:24.199 saw Jimmy Page do it, yeah, and then he but he just turned 832 00:59:24.239 --> 00:59:29.440 around to like build the mystique. He'd always do like a kitchy little smile 833 00:59:29.559 --> 00:59:34.400 and he would turn around and start tapping like so iconic. Yeah, so 834 00:59:34.719 --> 00:59:38.360 iconic. That's awesome. Yeah, I don't think I have any more songs 835 00:59:38.400 --> 00:59:40.320 at the moment. How do you guys feel about that one? That was 836 00:59:40.360 --> 00:59:44.559 pretty fun? Yeah, that was so cool. Uh. I think that 837 00:59:44.800 --> 00:59:50.800 this whole like message in the music thing is pretty much like an infinite, 838 00:59:51.039 --> 00:59:54.880 evergreen thing that we could do every now and then, like, because there 839 00:59:55.239 --> 01:00:01.599 this is we kind of stuck in one very like focused little niche here of 840 01:00:01.840 --> 01:00:07.480 like seventies rock and roll, seventies and eighties rock and roll vibes, you 841 01:00:07.599 --> 01:00:09.800 know, and look how many examples we found. I like that because, 842 01:00:10.079 --> 01:00:14.199 like, I don't think that, you know, some shiny angel has to 843 01:00:14.280 --> 01:00:16.599 come down or a CIA operative and give you lyrics for them to be inspired. 844 01:00:16.679 --> 01:00:21.119 Like I do believe that there are many artists out there who just are 845 01:00:21.880 --> 01:00:24.840 tapped in and they reach to a really deep place and they pull out very 846 01:00:24.880 --> 01:00:30.119 profound lyrics. And also to this day, some of our very first episodes 847 01:00:30.159 --> 01:00:34.719 of this entire podcast were about concepts like that, Like, if I remember 848 01:00:34.760 --> 01:00:39.599 correctly, episode five, I was talking about just like Magic by Ariana Grande. 849 01:00:39.800 --> 01:00:43.679 Yeah, and in that episode I said I hated Taylor Swift ooh. 850 01:00:45.000 --> 01:00:47.000 And three years later, I mean, I'm just calling them out on what 851 01:00:47.079 --> 01:00:54.920 he said. Now, three years later, I can humbly say I tolerate 852 01:00:55.039 --> 01:01:00.800 her what and it makes my wife very happy. For three years I've been 853 01:01:00.840 --> 01:01:06.280 waiting for you. Yeah, the truth comes out. Man. I'm I'm 854 01:01:06.280 --> 01:01:08.599 a more mature person. Now do you guys know about Jim Sullivan? No, 855 01:01:08.920 --> 01:01:16.320 never met him. Oh, Jim Sullivan. Jim wrote this album and 856 01:01:16.480 --> 01:01:21.599 the album title is UFO, and then he wrote this album and disappeared. 857 01:01:21.679 --> 01:01:25.360 We didn't even get into Boston, Bro Boston. Their album covers the UFO 858 01:01:25.599 --> 01:01:29.199 right right, right right, Yeah, it's more than a feeling, you 859 01:01:29.239 --> 01:01:31.000 know what I mean. That fits right into that niche too. Yeah, 860 01:01:31.480 --> 01:01:35.639 like the seventies. Yeah, I like that idea having some more like kind 861 01:01:35.679 --> 01:01:38.480 of music segments that'd be fun. It's just like music is uh. I 862 01:01:38.519 --> 01:01:44.679 feel like music is one of those like pure channels for like that humans can 863 01:01:44.760 --> 01:01:50.239 access, like it bypasses your like logic thinking brain. You can get into 864 01:01:50.320 --> 01:01:55.360 that like flow state with music where it's like stuff comes from another realm through 865 01:01:55.519 --> 01:02:01.880 you, like you see me dance. What is that supposed to be corroboration 866 01:02:02.119 --> 01:02:07.599 for what I'm saying, is reaching down? Yeah, yeah, I'm not 867 01:02:07.719 --> 01:02:09.920 a dancer. And then and then y'all start playing music. We're sitting at 868 01:02:09.960 --> 01:02:15.880 the studio and I start grooving. He do be shaking his ass. Ain't 869 01:02:15.880 --> 01:02:21.079 gonna lie, man, what he great idea for this episode? Great? 870 01:02:21.559 --> 01:02:23.880 It was Alex's idea.
